Ethanol

Ethanol is a liquid fuel refined from Lumber. It also appears naturally in Rust Biome. It can be used as a Power source.

Usage

 * Petroleum Generator can burn Ethanol or Petroleum to generate Power.
 * 2 kg/s Ethanol or Petroleum = 2 kW Power + 500 g/s Carbon Dioxide + 750 g/s Polluted Water
 * Nosh Sprout domestic growth requires 20 kg/cycle Ethanol irrigation.
 * Ethanol has decent Heat Capacity, very low Heat Conductivity, and 192 degrees range, making it a decent liquid insulator, although mostly in the lower temperature range.
 * However, once Ethanol is turned into gas at ~80°C its heat parameters while slightly lower are comparable to Hydrogen, which makes Ethanol gas quite decent heat transfer agent at above 100°C temperatures.
 * Due to the specific heat capacity difference between the liquid and gas, repeatedly boiling and condensing ethanol can serve as a heat deletion method.
 * Its thermal properties make it best for maintaining sub-zero temperatures for Sleet Wheat farms, with Radiant Liquid Piping compensating for their low conductivity. Furthermore, the low thermal conductivity makes mopping up easier, in the case of accidents.

Production

 * Ethanol Distiller can produce Ethanol from Lumber.
 * 1 kg/s Lumber = 500 g/s Ethanol + 333.33 g/s Polluted Dirt + 166.67 g/s Carbon Dioxide.
